I love [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f]! She’s been on my longlist for a long time and, while I prefer [name\_m]Ulysses[/name\_m] for a boy over [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] on a girl, she definitely does not get enough appreciation!!  
I’m not sure on spelling, but probably something like [name\_f]Lissy[/name\_f] or [name\_f]Lizzy[/name\_f]  
[name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] [name\_f]Dove[/name\_f], [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] Fern; [name\_f]June[/name\_f] [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f], [name\_f]Ruby[/name\_f] [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f]  
[name\_f]Floretta[/name\_f], [name\_f]Louvenia[/name\_f], [name\_f]Rosamund[/name\_f], Zenaida; [name\_m]Amadeus[/name\_m], [name\_m]Pellinore[/name\_m], [name\_m]Theoden[/name\_m], [name\_f]Vivendel[/name\_f]

1. [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] is lovely; rare but familiar at the same time – mystical but also a bit like [name\_f]Alyssa[/name\_f].
2. I’d probably nickname her [name\_f]Lissy[/name\_f] or maybe [name\_f]Lulu[/name\_f]
3. [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] [name\_f]Beatrix[/name\_f] or [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] [name\_f]Bronwen[/name\_f]
4. [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f], [name\_f]Sophronia[/name\_f], and Athanas

1. I like its grandness, imagery and (possible) etymology - but I’m just not a fan of “liss” names, and this is also a bit too demanding for me somehow. Would be cool to meet someone called [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] though.
2. Something non-lissy, so Uly, [name\_f]Sissy[/name\_f], [name\_f]Sia[/name\_f] or [name\_f]Lulu[/name\_f] (I like that suggestion from GB above)
3. [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] [name\_f]Catherine[/name\_f] or [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] [name\_f]Constance[/name\_f]
4. [name\_f]Verena[/name\_f], [name\_f]Domino[/name\_f], [name\_m]Cymbeline[/name\_m], [name\_f]Thisbe[/name\_f], [name\_m]Endellion[/name\_m] or [name\_f]Cosima[/name\_f] then brothers, [name\_m]Algernon[/name\_m] or [name\_m]Ambrose[/name\_m], igby, [name\_m]Caspian[/name\_m], [name\_m]Zephyr[/name\_m], [name\_m]Felix[/name\_m], [name\_m]Kitto[/name\_m] or Whitby

I think it’s pretty and underrated!  
[name\_f]Ulla[/name\_f] or [name\_f]Sia[/name\_f] would be my choice of nicknames.  
[name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] [name\_f]Winnie[/name\_f] 🩷  
I’d name her siblings [name\_f]Oriana[/name\_f] and [name\_m]Caspian[/name\_m].

1. She’s ok, I’d like to like her but she feels off somehow to me.
2. Probably [name\_f]Sisi[/name\_f] or [name\_f]Lulu[/name\_f]!
3. [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] [name\_f]Katherine[/name\_f] [name\_m]Snow[/name\_m], [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] [name\_f]Megan[/name\_f] [name\_f]Louise[/name\_f], [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] [name\_f]Tamsin[/name\_f] [name\_f]Joy[/name\_f]?
4. I honestly have no clue, but I do like the ideas that others have listed, so I’ll echo those. I also think maybe [name\_m]Valentine[/name\_m] (for either gender, Callidore, or [name\_f]Calixta[/name\_f]?

Pros - [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] has a great familiar yet unique quality, and names beginning with U are so rare and eyecatching. It’s very pretty and feminine, and written down it’s striking.

Cons - I’m not sure how to pronounce [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f]? Nameberry lists it as yoo-LISH-uh, which I would not have expected. I’d have maybe said uh-liss-ee-uh or yoo-lee-see-uh, but I wouldn’t have been confident. And it could be confused with names like [name\_f]Alyssa[/name\_f], [name\_m]Elisha[/name\_m], [name\_f]Alicia[/name\_f], or [name\_f]Elysia[/name\_f] (which is on my short list, so I definitely see the appeal). None of this is deal breaking, but it is worth considering.

Nicknames - [name\_f]Lulu[/name\_f] or [name\_m]Ula[/name\_m]

Middle names - [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] [name\_f]Dove[/name\_f], [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] [name\_f]Willow[/name\_f], [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] [name\_f]Beatrix[/name\_f]

Siblings for [name\_f]Ulyssia[/name\_f] - [name\_m]Everard[/name\_m], [name\_f]Wilhelmina[/name\_f], [name\_f]Annika[/name\_f], [name\_m]Idris[/name\_m]
